Silence from all the millionaires who recently “waned to give away more money to the hmrc to help fellow citizens”
Why is this so hard for people to understand though? I’d personally pay more tax, but only if we all did, as otherwise I’d just be a bit poorer and there’d be no marked improvement on public services. It’s just the same argument but scaled up
Fuck off HMRC this is about the ultra rich actually paying their fair share.
Cunts at the office are all too happy to send the baliffs after the PAYE pigs.
What’s the point in it being optional, it needs to be systemic to have any actual value.
Or most of them (if not all) incl Gary Lineker could just simply do a tax return every year and pay the same as PAYE workers. No ones being forced to take dividends from a LTD Company.
People not realising this is a satire publication seems to end the theory of Brits being able to understand sarcasm even when it isn’t blatantly pointed out.
Not to state the obvious…. But the people advocating for the ultra wealthy to pay more haven’t ‘gone quiet’. A handful of millionaires donating to HMRC is pissing in the wind, the argument has always been about how do you *enforce* proper taxation on stupid levels of wealth.
“You wokies can all shut up now, HMRC has a donate here button, all our late-stage capitalist dystopian nightmare problems are solved!” is an interesting take…
if you send them more tax than you owe they send you it back so this is just a load of rubbish
I feel tempted – as a full time disabled on benefits – to send the HMRC a few pounds just to shame the twats. I can manage to contribute to my fellow man, why can’t you?
( checks out the flair, wonders why everyone is foaming at the mouth )
I mean, tax isn’t a bloody tip jar. One millionaire sending HMRC a bit extra while everyone else carries on as normal fixes nothing — it just makes them the only mug who paid. They’re asking for the rules to change for everyone. That’s literally the point.
So should we just pay more road tax too if we want our roads fixed sooner? It doesn’t work like that. Make them all pay. I eat it in our school and youth programmes.
I can lie , if I was a millionaire I’d rather not ‘gift’ HMRC . Who would ? Just tax them
It might be satire but it’s always been an option!
This is the process if you want to gift money to the government.

Paying more money to people without accountability is like throwing money down the drain while hoping it makes a difference in this world!
Jesus, what right wing trolling. Taxation isn’t supposed to be voluntary, it’s the public reclaiming its share of the wealth that society created in the first place, for the benefit of everyone. HMRC is supposed to be institution we use to do that.
It’s like someone doing a really bad job at a service counter turning to you and asking if you just want to do it yourself. Thats not how this works.
As always reactionaries completely fail to understand the difference between individuals and systemic change.
1 person paying £50k is a drop in the ocean.
1 person pushing a change that results in 10,000 people paying 50k makes a huge change
Its what makes conservatives so susceptible to messaging from the likes of the daily mail. “Hey look, here’s an example of 1 person cheating the benefits system, therefore we need to cut benefit spending by 20% to stop this”
Obviously satire, but…
If the money is coming from a publicly traded business, they actually can’t, because they’re obliged to return profit to the owner(s).
They are completely missing the point here.
This only works if ALL have to pay. The uk isnt a charity
I wonder what wealthy contributors encouraged newsthump to write this 😅
I wonder how much Richard Smith, the owner of newsthump, is worth.
Satire aside, one person sending extra money != policy change that gets multiple wealthy people sending extra money.
yeah but as others have pointed out , its not just paying tax, its a systemic thing that the rich paying more tax should reduce the burden on less well off folk. Doing it unilaterally does not necessarily lift the tax burden on the less well off , or direct the funding to the pot where it is needed
Anyone that wants to pay more is fucking weird
Just go give it to a charity
In work benefits are also a subsidy for rich people.
